Directions

Enter ’50’, ‘100’, ‘250’, or ‘All’ to begin. Then name the artists of the greatest albums of all time according to Rolling Stone’s 2012 revision of the 500 greatest albums of all time. Album title and year shown – first two words suffice for longer artist names. (Self) means a self-titled album – ‘______’ replaces the band name included in the album title.

Do you really think mankind decided to stop making good music 18 years ago? Seriously, there is so much good music made before and after 1997. The problem may be your old fashioned taste of music, and not the music itself…

Indeed, music is starting to get better again. Bruno Mars is leading the charge, Taylor Swift leading the women. Eminem shows no signs of letting go of the #1 spot in Rap any time soon, and guess what? Rock And Roll STILL isn’t dead!
Six years ago, I said music wouldn’t improve for at least 15 years. Four years ago, I thought there were signs of improvement for the first time since 1999-2000. Two years ago, I started becoming more optimistic, saying we’d start getting good music again by 2020.
Now, the only thing really holding music back is the massive amount of crap in the Hip-Hop and Country genres. Everything else (even Pop!) is showing massive improvement. If we can get rid of the utter $h!t in Hip-Hop and Country, i’ll take back my statement about music sucking sometime between 2019 and 2022. I’m not thinking we’ll get back to pre-1995 quality any time soon, though, but it’ll be a LOT better than it was between 2006 and 2010 for sure!
